Comment on Xenoblade Genesis Nintendo Direct Trailer

That’s me and I’m so excited!! The world looks like it takes place in a dyson sphere, Monolith flexing with their world design.
I’ve seen some people online have complaints about the school setting shown off, but it seems they don’t remember how much (XC spoilers)
Tap for spoiler
Xenoblade games love to dramatically change the status quo within the first chapter or two. Fiora getting murdered & colony 9 blowing up, Rex getting murdered & resurrected, the Ouroboros party being forcefully freed from military service and no longer bound by their flame clocks.

Yeah I expect maybe the first chapter or two to be set at this school and then something kicks off the journey to deal with this “god” they mention. AND EVEN THEN there could be a twist.

Definitely! I do hope it keeps itself as its own story rather than forcing itself to connect to Chronicles (since that would seem antithetical to the message of 3) but either way I’m excited to play it eventually

Until I know differently, I have this feeling like this world is one that could have been “seeded” by another ship from earth and just evolved differently.
But I have zero evidence of that. I just assume there will be some sort of tie into the other games.
However, these characters are just humans and elves and there are zero Nopon in this trailer (but there was a short cat character shown in one split second). Could very well be totally different. And that’s fine, too.
It is hard to think about a game that doesn’t have Mio and Noah in the crew, though. They are so good I wonder how I can even be as in love with any new characters as I was with them. I’m not worried, really. But XC3 was like the mountaintop, and now we are starting all fresh so I just don’t know yet. It’s going to be great, though.
